The Skye Boat Song 14
Chorus:
D A D
Speed bonnie boat like a
bird on the wing,
G D
Onward, the sailors cry.
A D
Carry the lad that's born to be king
G D
over the sea to Skye.
D Em
Loud the winds howl,
loud the waves roar,
G Em
Thunderclaps rend the air,
D Em
Baffled our foes stand by the shore,
G Em A
Follow they will not dare.
Cho.
D Em
Though the waves leap,
soft shall ye sleep,
G Em
Ocean's a royal bed.
D Em
Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep
G Em A
Watch o'er your weary head.
Cho.
D Em
Burnt are our homes,

G Em
Scattered the loyal man.
D Em
Yet ere the sword,
cool in the sheath,
G Em A
Charlie will come again.
Cho.

This song
commemorates the
escape of Bonnie
Prince Charlie from
these
shores when Flora
MacDonald took him,
disguised as a serving
maid,
from Uist to Skye in
a small boat. Flora
later emigrated to
the Carolinas in the
US, but is
now buried at Kilmuir on the north
coast of Skye.
Prince Charlie is buried
near Rome where he was
born. The tune has its
origins in a
Gaelic sea shanty.
